Abstract Introduction Paediatric patients are particularly prone to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)‐induced coagulopathy mainly due to haemodilution, consumption of coagulation factors and hypothermia. The aim of the present study was to..

Abstract The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiothoracic surgery results in a well-known activation of the immunologic response. In some cases, however, this triggered immunologic response may be excessive,..

Abstract Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a rare and severe congenital cardiac defect. Approximately 1000 infants are born with HLHS in the United States every year. Healthcare collaboratives over..
